Part of the Do'a Iftitah

"Verily my solats, my ibadah, my life and my death I surrender to Almighty Allah, Creator and Lord of all the worlds. Never will I associate anything with Him. So am I commanded and I am of those who are Muslims."

I cringed with despair when once again we are all assailed with more short clips of the infamous sex clip of what is said to be Anwar Ibrahim's sexcapade with a Chinese prostitute.

It was hard enough watching the first part of the clip and the dismay I felt when I first saw it. The dread of considering the implications that such a video will have on this nation's future if it is proven to be true beyond a morsel of doubt that it is really him, the man whom even I at one time wanted so much to see take over from Mahathir when the latter quit as this nation's PM?

Such a wish to see him helm this nation's course stemmed from the fact that in Anwar Ibrahim we saw the makings of an Islamic leader who started his journey towards reaching the pinnacle of Malaysia's political leadership from heading ABIM, the Malaysian Muslim Youth Brigade.

All that is now part of our nation's history as Anwar's fortune went spiraling out of control and he ended up in the slammer for 6 years, was released from prison and went on to head the Opposition Pact.

You can say that I was not exactly thrilled to see Anwar team up with the DAP and PAS to try and grab power with his 16th September ' jump ship' political ploy and strategy which eventually caved in as a result of non committal on the part of some of those Members of Parliament who were said to have nodded to his grand plan.

For someone who had religious foundations and was once heralded as the future leader of this country, both articulate and well aware of what Islam expects of him as a promising young star in UMNO who skyrocketed past old party faithfuls such as the late Tun Ghafar Baba and many others into becoming the Deputy Prime Minister under Tun Dr Mahathir, Anwar's haste in wanting to be the numero uno Head of Government and sideline Dr. M cost him dearly when the maestro Malaysian PM of all time, pulled the plug on him, stripped him bare of all his political appointments and left him back at where he had first started.

Anwar however wasn't going to take things lying down. He turned Brutus on Dr. Mahathir and forever changed the annals of Malaysian political history by going on the 'Reformasi' warpath which saw hundreds of thousands of his supporters run amok on the streets of KL.

All that is part and parcel of what Malaysian political upheavals have come to be?

When dopey Abdullah Badawi took over the reins from stern no nonsense Dr M, all those who had been toeing the line during Tun Dr M's rule started to get out of their self imposed corrals and started to rock the boat, so to speak.

Things that were considered taboo were now being spoken about openly knowing that the 5th PM wasn't as watchful and firm as Dr M.

Anwar Ibrahim's vendetta against Mahathir culminated in his turning into the BN's nemesis and he signed a pact with the Devils After Power and PAS. Opposition parties whom he once lambasted and dismissed off as unreliable ones incapable of running this country.

Today, all those nasties are conveniently forgotten and Anwar heads the Opposition Pact with a raging desire to overthrow the BN and clench his paws once and for all upon the throne of the PM at Putrajaya if that's the last thing that he does in his lifetime?

Unfortunately, he has once again become scandalized by accusations of his being a sodomite just as he was accused of way back in 1998.

Now, this sordid video has surfaced purportedly showing Anwar having a sexual tryst with a Chinese prostitute.

Whether it is really him, we don't really know due to the poor quality of the secret video recording but one thing for sure, his poor family especially his wife and eldest daughter are once again thrown into public scandal for coming to his defense and refusing to admit that it is him, their head of the family caught in action albeit it be in just black and white.

I can't imagine the extent of such shame and loss of face that such a lewd scandal involving their head of the family has befallen Dr Wan Azizah and Nurul Izzah?

It must be the worst moment in their lives and even if this blows over, the emotional and psychological scars will remain etched deep in their hearts and minds forever.

In times like these, one would expect some consideration from those out to get him for the man's reputation and honor has already been impaired beyond repair what with the constant and ceaseless onslaught against him.

But it now seems like they will not simply let him be. Looks like Anwar Ibrahim's not gonna be left alone till he gives up his quest to be the next Malaysian PM and emigrates overseas to salvage whatever is left of his reputation and remnants of his self dignity.

I can also understand the implications for this country if it is true that the fornicator featured in the b&w video shown recently as Pt 2 of what is now known as the Anwar Sex Tape is no one else but the 'Gift of God' himself, then surely we can't allow such a figure to lead this nation.

No way in hell.

Yet we as Muslims must also remember that even we ourselves, aren't exactly squeaky clean and free from sin, if we really want to be truthful?

God Knows as to who each and every one of us truly are?

What will we do when we are all resurrected in the Yaum al Qiyamah and assembled upon the Field of Mahsyar?

We will have all our past deeds be flashed before the entire gathering of humankind upon the widest HD screen we can ever imagine?

Where will we hide our faces then when our own individual screw-ups (pardon the pun) will be telecast live before the gathered generations after generations of the humankind?

On that account, Anwar and his family would then have the last laugh ~ if he is innocent of all these charges...but based upon what the forensic experts are going to furnish soon with regard to these accusations that the maverick is truly guilty as charged, it can just go either way!

Islam asks of its adherents to show mercy and compassion towards one another but in this case, many are not willing to risk having a sodomite or a lecherous adulterer end up calling the shots in Putrajaya.

Although I tend to agree with them in not wanting such a person in power upon such an eventuality, I still think that we ought to exercise a bit more restraint and not go overboard with this witch hunt.

Remember that no matter how eager we are in prejudging him, we too will one day be judged by none other than Allahu Ta'ala soon and in His Court, there is no room for any tricks or entrapments.

May Justice prevail and cool hearts rule.

Ameen.

Till we know the truth and nothing but the whole truth, I'd like to extend my heartfelt sympathies to Wan Azizah and Nurul Izzah.

When we who are Muslims don't care no more as to who we hurt with our rashness, then the future for this ummah becomes uncertain.

I recall reading about the situation where if we fail to be kind and compassionate to those amongst us here on Earth, then those high up in the heavens will reciprocate in kind towards us.

I have been patient for quite some time with this Petronas Service Station's very poor service located at the Cheras Kajang East West Link just after the Metramac 50 sens toll plaza heading towards the Federal Highway.

This station is staffed with both local Malaysians and Bangladeshi foreign workers.

The station's convenience store has two entrance glass doors. The nearest door is on the right and is the usual entrance most of us motorists use.

Now and then, the Bangladeshi workers would lock the door inconveniencing those of us motorists who would have to walk all the way to the entrance on the left.

When asked as to the reasons why they have locked up the right door, they would just grin and say ' Saja Bos!' ' Sini masuk juga!' meaning just use this door.

I have protested about this stupidity to the Bangladeshi cashier many times yet to no avail.

The grinning idiots and the equally nonplussed local Malay workers would just turn a deaf ear to our complaints.

Many other customers have equally voiced out their unhappiness but it seems to be pointless speaking to those whose ears must truly be deaf to our protests!

I have decided not to patronize this Petronas station anymore. I used to fuel up twice a week here spending RM50 everytime on petrol.

Petronas East West Link has today lost a regular customer!

If this is the kind of disservice that this station has to offer, then I am stopping myself from today in being their customer.

The Shell service station next to it has better attentive service staff ~ even though they be Bangladeshis as well.

At least I feel more appreciated.

So to the owners of this Petronas East West Link, all I can say to you is 'Sayonara' and condolences on losing another customer due to your lazy ass employees who are as it seems deaf, dumb and blind to your customer's wishes.

Why don't you just wall up that door since it is so inconvenient for your lazy ass staff?

Now, I know why most Malaysians prefer to fill up at other foreign owned service stations?

Their service and standards are so much more better than yours!

* I managed to speak to the owner via the number printed on the job vacancy notice. He said that maybe the staff were handling cash movement at that time and thus had locked the glass door for safety.

I told him that when I was there this morning, there was no such transactions going on. The Malay female staff were just relaxing and the Bangladeshi cashier just doing his thing whilst another was standing besides the remaining left glass door entrance.

I told him that I had been filling up at the station at least twice a week and spending RM50 every time on fuel. I had also been buying foodstuff etcetera from the store but I have been inconvenienced like this several times already since the last couple of weeks.

No valid reason given for locking the glass door except that they are lazy ass employees and just want to have it easy for them in limiting entrance to just one door.

I'm taking my business next door! Shell Service Station where the staff have better service attitude and are much more efficient!

A picture speaks a thousand words they say and this photo here speaks volumes!

I have always wondered about the kind of Aqeedah these so called Indian Muslims in Puttaparthi, Andhra Pradesh, India have what with their praying to this and that shrine, auliya this, auliya that, this dargah and that dargah, hero worshiping any out of the ordinary fella who goes around conning the gullibles with their many tricks of the trade and schemes that would make even David Blaine go blushing with embarrassment?

To see these motley crowd of said to be Sai Baba devotees from amongst those who are seen here sporting skull caps identifying them as 'Muslims' is actually quite disturbing.

What do'a are these zalimuns praying for? These are the so called 'alims' who in actuality are 'zalims'!

What bloody hell kind of aqeedah do these fellows profess?

Which Islamic principle or guideline are these 'shirk' practicing clueless in Kerala or where the hell ever 'pseudo Muslims' adopting?

Truly deviated from the straight path of Al Islam are these chaps! They say that there are over 120 million 'Muslims' in India.

To me, if these are the kind that the majority of them are made up of, they might as well not be who they claim to be!

Really! There is no point in having these millions of uninformed, ignorant masses of people passing off as Muslims but ending up praying to and worshiping a creation of Allah Azza Wa Jalla as a 'god'?

What kind of 'Muslims' are these dimwits?

Na'uzubillahiminzalik!

Verily what Rasul Sallalahu Alaihi Wassallam foretold a thousand four hundred over years ago has come to manifest itself in the form of these ignorant masses who form a major part of the foam upon the ocean waves which the Blessed Prophet described the latter day Muslims to be as?

So many in numbers but the level of their Iman and Aqeedah is so suspect.

So weak and totally deviated from the straight path of Islam that Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala and Rasul Sallalahu Alaihi Wassallam has bequeathed upon us, the ummah of Muhammad al Mustafa in these Akhirul Zaman!

I sincerely hope that these dimwits wake the hell up and repent with all their hearts for if they fail to do so, will find themselves keeping company with the ones who face the Wrath of Rabbul Alamin for committing Shirk against Allah by worshiping one of His Makhluk!!!

Those of you who may be Muslims in India reading this article, please share this site with those whom you know are caught in this major sin of associating a makhluk with Rabbul Alamin!

The recent call by the MCA to boycott Utusan Malaysia is pretty redundant!

I'm curious to know as to the actual number of Malaysian Chinese and particularly members of the MCA who really make it a point to subscribe or even really do buy the nation's foremost Malay newspaper?

MCA has urged Malaysians to boycott Utusan Malaysia over its editors call for a '1Melayu, 1bumi' movement, which the party argued was legitimising racial discrimination.

Party deputy publicity chief Loh Seng Kok said that the 1Melayu, 1bumi concept advocated by the Umno-owned newspaper was an attempt to punish the Chinese for exercising their democratic rights to choose during elections.

In a statement written in Mandarin issued late yesterday evening, Loh (left) said all conscientious Malaysians should boycott the newspaper and accelerate Utusan Malaysia's already plunging circulation numbers.

"The newspaper's position is perverting the Najib administration's 1Malaysia concept and instilling evil thoughts among the public. This outdated concept will be condemned by the international community.

"Does Utusan Malaysia want to emulate South Africa and (early) United States of America which practised apartheid and racial segregation ?" he said.

Reiterating points he raised in a statement on Thursday morning, Loh said that Utusan Malaysia must be reminded that the BN comprises 13 component parties , representing various communities and thus '1Melayu, 1bumi' does not augur well for the coalition.

Most importantly, if the newspaper wants to win the respect of everyone, they should be committed to the 1Malaysia concept and help bridge the differences among the various communities, he said.

Will Soi Lek challenge Utusan?

Loh's statement came several hours after DAP secretary-general Lim Guan Eng called on MCA president Dr Chua Soi Lek to pressure Umno into censuring Utusan Malaysia for the article.

"Just do it Chua! Tell Umno to direct its newspaper to withdraw the '1Melayu, 1bumi' movement or MCA (should) withdraw from the BN," said Lim in a statement today.

"Any failure by Chua to do so would show that he is a man who dares to admit his fault, dares to speak out and dares to walk the talk is just empty sandiwara devoid of substance."

Lim said (right) that Utusan Malaysia was trying to "racialise" the results of the polls, despite the fact that the DAP was able to garner support from all communities based on the voting data, to gloss over the real reasons for BN losses.

"However , in order to hide the real reasons for their loss, namely corruption and demands for Chief Minister Abdul Taib Mahmud to step down, Umno and Utusan Malaysia are pitting the results as conflict between the Chinese community and the government."

Yesterday, Najib Abdul Razak distanced himself from the newspaper's article while Dr Mahathir Mohamad said that the '1Melayu, 1bumi' movement would be a "disaster".

End of quote.

Now, for those of us who are willing to call a spade just that, we have to accept that as long as there is a sun over our heads and the moon comes a glowing at night, we who are Malaysians will still be segregated as this or that when we are at home here in Malaysia and only be categorized or called as Malaysians the minute we go abroad.

The Malays will be Malays, Chinese as they are, Indians as such and so on.

All these cockamamie stuff about 1Malaysia, 1people would seem good and delude the ones behind such a campaign that they are doing something good for the nation when in actuality it is all just superficial. Only on the surface. Such instant 'fix-it-quick' campaigns might look good on paper, seem to be a smashing idea when presented in a 'wham blam' multimedia advertising blitz over radio, television and cinema trailers.

But in reality, we all live in a constant atmosphere of doubt and suspicion that simmers deep within our prejudicial hearts and minds. We all tend to differentiate between fellow citizens no matter how hard we try to mask our true emotions, values and traditional mistrusts against one another.

We may witness once in a while, cases where there are interracial marriages and courtships between even inter-faithed couples once in a blue moon. There is a tendency however for such unions to come apart after they run out of steam or passion gives way to dissatisfactions over a myriad of problems that stem from the different upbringings, personal differences and principles, love turning sour and a thousand and one other reason to call it quits.

As a Muslim blogger and Dakwah activist, I have often been emailed by such persons who are caught in that 'Catch 22' situation and do not know how to get out of that emotional and personal maze or labyrinth of broken dreams. To those who can't quite understand such a dilemma, the easiest way to sort of have an inkling as to its meaning is to imagine yourself in a situation where you can't spit out or swallow!

Another colorful way to put it will be the famous parable or phrase ' Caught between the Devil and the Deep Blue Sea'.

Back to the issue or topic at hand, it is just natural for the MCA to join their DAP brothers in ethnic origin putting up a show of being alarmed by what the Editor of Utusan Malaysia Encik Zaini Hassan proposed in his column here.

Its just a natural reaction from a Malay especially when he is an editor to voice out what the majority of his people feel deep down in their hearts and minds upon seeing the apparent unity or 'esprit de corps' that is manifested between the Chinese political parties and social organizations who tend to unite as one community despite having their differing political agendas and aims in life.

You can't expect to see the national politicians such as from UMNO or PAS leaders speak openly about their concerns and risk being ostracized by the hawk-like opposition media who'd have a field day scandalizing any such slips of the tongue or those who tend to be inflicted with the 'diarrhea of the lip' syndrome.

Don't dream of getting to read about what Najib Tun Razak really truly feels deep down in his privileged heart for the man was born with a golden spoon and wouldn't really know how it is for the average Malay who struggles to earn his keep deep in the Malay heartlands or how to put food on the table for his family?

The urbanized privileged ones amongst the Malay high society would know nothing about the true situation for the ill-equipped and disadvantaged ones amongst the Malay community who face firewalls after firewalls when they go looking for jobs or opportunities to improve their lot and try to earn a decent income to support themselves and their dependents?

People like Najib, his cousin Hishamuddin Tun Hussein Onn, Mahathir's offsprings ~ Mukhriz, Mokhzani, Mirzan, Marina, etc. would not know in actuality the serious concerns that are faced by the Malays in today's day to day living environment.

Malays have traditionally been living a simple existence and not many amongst them really have a care about worldly pursuits such as accumulating material wealth, high positions, etc.

Most Malays are content with whatever that comes their way. Even the British early colonials observed these traits of the Malays who are quick to trust strangers, very hospitable, down to earth folks who bear no malice towards anyone who doesn't bother them much. They are quite known for their 'mind their own business' policy and do not go all out to defend or protect their 'turf'.

You can see all these having taken place in the way they have run or let ruin this country. Their Malay Reserve lands have almost disappeared. Swallowed up by those who aren't Malays by way of appointing proxies and 'Ali Baba' arrangements. Even their lands are fast being eroded and terms that once heralded the ownership of the Malays over this peninsular are slowly but surely dissipating overnight and most Malays are oblivious to all these or just do not bother.

When the MCA meet their DAP brothers in arms, there is a sense of camaraderie between them that showcases their true feelings of mutual trust and harmony between fellow Chinese. That's one of the reasons why the Chinese are the largest number of a common people spread throughout the world and they can be found in almost every nation here on Earth.

Not like the Malays or Indians here in Malaysia or in their motherlands. The Malays can be very charming and pleasant to strangers and those not from their common ancestry. Yet the truth is that the Malays are very suspicious and envious of each other. They are infamous for their envy and hatred upon those who are their fellow Malays but from different lineages.

They will be willing to go all out to ensure that their chosen enemy is vanquished both in spirit or person. Their vengeance knows no bounds. If they can't battle their enemy straight face to face, they'd waste not a moment to get their will accomplished through the occult or black magic.

We all know that these always do happen.

Same scenario for the Indians including the Indian Muslim community. Infighting and animosity reigns supreme in their hearts and minds and continues to this day all over the world. The Indians are always raring to go chop up and kill each other over the flimsiest of excuses.

Only this morning, we read about an Indian having all his ten fingers chopped off clean and them thrown onto the railway tracks! Speak of the devil!

But not the Chinese. The Chinese are famous for their spirit of oneness and are willing to sacrifice personal wealth and self comfort for the benefit and advantage of their people. This is one of the major reasons why the Chinese do so well wherever they are and migrate to in search of a better life for them and their families, friends, neighbors and community.

The Malays ought to learn from them as to how best to take care of their country and fellowmen and women. The Chinese in actuality are now the overlords of this country. They control the economy and in reality are the king-makers here in Malaysia.

Name me one area or aspect of this land that doesn't have a jot of Chinese influence over it? Chances are that there will be none.

Zaini Hassan's call for the Malays to unite is actually a bit too late. Disunity between the various factions amongst the Malays has set in too deep and been allowed to permanently divide them into this and that camp for far too long.

We are talking about hundreds if not thousands of years of such enmity running deep. PAS and UMNO remain at loggerheads despite both political parties consist of the same ethnic makeup and professing the same religion of Islam.

Yet those who claim to be scholars and champions of Islam do not have it in their religiously inclined hearts to make amends with their more secularist UMNO brothers and sisters. They would not budge an inch to make way for their brethren from across the political divide to ensure that their people as a whole survives to the next day.

They are both stubborn and recalcitrant beyond measure. They would rather see their country go to the dogs so to speak than make room for their fellow Malay to have his or her day.

PAS's wish to see UMNO destroyed and burnt to the cinders instead of let them live and let live. This is evident in the manner by which all their publications and bloggers manifest their true emotions and desire to see the demise of UMNO. To hell with the 'fellow Muslims or Malays' tag. Their hatred is eternal.

As a fellow Muslim, I have long called for the unity of the Malays here in Malaysia but know that my wish is akin to wanting to see a cat grow horns or sprout wings and fly. Mission Impossible.

Nik Aziz would rather embrace Kit Siang, Karpal and Kuan Yew instead of Mahathir, Najib, Muhyiddin, Zahid Hamidi or any other UMNO top gun!

Not Hadi Awang though! Now, that is one PAS President who has truly reformed! :P Remember his infamous Amanat Haji Hadi?

Now, he is much more relenting and doesn't waste no time in embracing and hugging his fellow Muslim, UMNO President Dato Seri Najib Tun Razak when they came across each other during the Sarawak state election campaign, highlighting his true 'ulamak' character.I salute Tuan Guru Hj Abdul Hadi Awang for that!

So is Professor Dato Dr Harun Din Al Haj, the Deputy Mursyidul Am of PAS! He is one of my religious mentors and I call him often to ask for advice and learn from him about in depth Islamic matters. May Allah bless him. Ameen.

Problem is that there remain stubborn old recalcitrant ones so to speak in the Islamic party. These vengeful demons in disguise continue to spew hatred amongst the party members and do all that they can to ensure that PAS will never merge with UMNO.

Not as long as the current leaders are still alive and remain as a stumbling block to what Encik Zaini Hassan and millions of his fellow Malays dream for?

The MCA are just exposing what their true calling is? To work towards the betterment of their people as a community and ensure their continued domain over this nation albeit behind the facade that this country still remains a Malay heartland.

The only thing left of the Malays is probably the title on the land grants of the Malay Reserve Land and Keretapi Tanah Melayu. Even that is just a matter of time before all things Malay end up collecting dust in the museums of this land and elsewhere.

As a matter of fact, the once illustrious Malaccan Sultanate is now reduced to being just a display at the replica of the Istana Melaka there in Kota Melaka, a tourist spot.

If the Malays fail to realize that what they do today or in actuality fail to do as per what Zaini Hassan is calling for will hasten the departure of the Malays from what was before the 'Semenanjung Tanah Melayu'?

Today, the Malays have been left to rot in hedonistic pursuits by almost each and everyone of their leaders both in public service and what is said to be the 9 surviving royal families of the Malay Sultanate reduced to being mere 'constitutional monarchies' with no real power to speak of?

The decision is made by the Executive in what was once the hallowed halls of the Malaysian Parliament and even the State Assemblies.

Today we have members of the State Assemblies and Dewan Rakyat pull stunts similar to uneducated simians and primates whilst demanding to be accorded their honorifics of being the 'Yang Berhormats' @ The Respectable bla bla bloody bla!

I feel sorry for the Malays. Really am.

I was born in this land. Grew up in a Malay kampong. Had Malay girlfriends, Malay childhood friends. Studied under Malay masters in both the Malay traditional martial arts and Quranic classes. I love everything there is about the Malay ancestral values, arts and culture.

I am married to a Pahang Malay.

I cherish the many grand nephews and nieces that my marriage has given me and I absolutely love my families.

To see the majority of the Malays be left to fend for their own selfs whilst surrounded by so many so called Malay alims and ulamaks is akin to seeing the many voracious wolves out there hunting down and devouring the Malay 'sheep' one by one whilst the shepherd snores away in his lofty perch irresponsibly.

Zaini Hassan's clarion call doesn't seem to rouse the shepherds.

I wonder if the sheep will remain safe for long?

From the looks of it, we are gonna witness a massacre and yet the sheep aren't bleating in fear or alarm.

Ah! Must be stricken by the 'Si Luncai 'syndrome. It is a situation where despite a fictitious Malay folk character called Si-Luncai jumping into the river with his water gourd when being taken prisoner by palace guards, those guards just let him be despite shouts from others that Si-Luncai was escaping. Those guards were reported to have replied' Let it be! Let it be!'

That my dear friends is a very debilitating disease. Malays are the prime carriers of this condition. They'd just smile and grin their way whilst getting slaughtered from too much 'Tidak Apa'thy'.

I attended the 1st Blog House Malaysia organized ASEAN Regional Bloggers Conference today which was held at the Intercontinental Hotel ( former Hotel Nikko) near the KL City Centre.

Many of my fellow Malaysian Bloggers were there. I first sat in a discussion about regulations and authority which was conducted at a room moderated by a fellow blogger.

Most of the attendees were all for no regulations to be imposed by the respective ASEAN governments upon bloggers. I guess I was the lone blogger who didn't agree with such a demand.

Blog as one pleases, shoot 'em down and get away with whatever one blogs without considering the implications of one's cyber-sniping?

I thought the theme of the conference was 'Blogging Mindfully and Responsibly'?

Here were some bloggers especially those from Thailand represented by a Canadian born journalist who wasn't too happy about the way things were in Thailand who was calling for no regulations to be imposed on bloggers there by the Thai Government.

He was referring to the way the Thais were very particular about anyone committing 'lese majeste'. Insulting the Thai Royalty. One who does that can face severe punishments. So, he was stating his point of view that he didn't agree with the way things were over there in the 'Sawadee Kap' land.

Then there was a blogger from Kampuchea. She was also for no regulations to be imposed on bloggers. :)

There was also an American born blogger speaking on behalf of Vietnamese bloggers. Same old demand again. No regulations.

Wishful thinking.....

After the break at 10am, I adjourned to join friends from among the Malaysian blogging fraternity who were present.

Will be uploading several short clips of speeches by Syed Akbar Ali, Blog House Malaysia President, Former PM Tun Dr M, PM Dato Seri Najib and blogger Kounila from Kampuchea when I get the opportunity to do so.

At the end of the day, I still hold firm to my point that bloggers must be responsible for what they publish.

The truth must be told no matter what so that justice may live but one shouldn't blog irresponsibly and expect to get away with whatever untruths one unleashes unto the reading netizens.

Always stick to the truth if you don't want to have your blogging ass whupped!

Figuratively speaking! :D Of course...no pun intended at anyone...:)

Cheers!

Congratulations to Blog House Malaysia for successfully holding this 1st Malaysian - ASEAN Bloggers Conference and graced by the current Malaysian PM and also by our 4th PM Tun Dr.Mahathir Mohamad who has consented to be the patron for the BHM.

That is what one might conclude after seeing the kind of 'Change' that is being presented to us, the Malaysian voting public.

After all, the media hype with regard to the so called 'Change' that DAP seems to brandish in its rhetorical election banners doesn't really give us the assurance that the young candidates it presents to us the Malaysian citizenry are reliable as the 'future' generation of leaders to run or in reality 'ruin' this country.

Incompetence 101! From what we can see above, this kind of 'Change' only deserves our sympathy and some loose change!

I am all for fresh young blood to reform the nation's governance but looking at the immature lost for words politicians that DAP has in the example shown above doesn't really promise that things will be better for Malaysia.

In fact we might end up inviting in the burglars for fear of the so called robbers at large!

The Malays sum it up nicely with the famous parable 'Takutkan perompak ; dijemput masuk penyamun!'

Is that what we want?

No sirree!

I want neither.

I'd prefer a brand new group of able and capable fresh politicians with no unsavory baggage.

Both the BN and the Opposition Pact need to present us with a better choice of candidates and get rid of corrupt, rhetoric spewing freeloaders.

Yes. We have all been forced to accept half past six political dinosaurs in both sides of the fence.

Its getting to be a tad boring to see the same old geezers hog the limelight and keep spewing useless banter year in year out!

Let's have some real change in the coming GE minus the 60+ old geezers who have in actuality gone way past the shelf expiry date.

If we are to have opposition, let such opposition be made up of reliable trustworthy young bright and brilliant proven to deliver candidates.

Not stammering, 'clueless in KL' or whatever other locale 'dumb blur' lame sorry excuses for politicians like what we have here.

Hello!!!

Come on lah!

Malaysians need better!

We want to be served by professional people who know what the bloody hell they are talking about.

Not amateurs slotted in there like a rush job substitute!

You want to rule the land, you better be made up of true reliable calibre.

Not some pasar malam types who don't know heck about what's going on?

I hope PM Najib can learn from all the past screw ups taking place since he took office and learn to consult the alims and ulamaks before coming to any decision with regard to national issues that affect us all, like the recent Bible in Malay fiasco, he let slip past his fingers like handing over control of the matter to Idris with a torn' Jala'. 'Pun' intended'.

Its like asking the cat to watch over the fishes. :P

See what he has done?

Back to the matter at hand.

Malaysians deserve better quality politicians from both sides of the fence.

The clueless ones as in the example above would do better to go back to political science school!

Bloody embarrassing lah!

In the meantime, go ahead and keep the bistro owners happy....:P

After all is said and done, the YB's get to fatten their wallets and move to a brand new bungalow, complete with a flashy new car and driver.

There have been some who question my nickname and feel that I am proclaiming myself to be on par with the actual MAHAGURU Himself ~ Allah the Almighty Supreme God of us all?

Well, to these obviously short sighted and blinkered folks, I'd like to draw their attention that its nothing as such!

Its just a nickname you imbeciles!

Get out of your mental rut and start opening your eyes to the reality that this is just a blog and not the Holy Scripture professing my holiness or whatever self imagined catastrophe you deduce!!!

I'm just a Muslim blogger for God's Sake sharing my views of whatever I feel strongly about and blogging as I can while I am still able to?

He knows me better than you confused lot!

Do you seriously believe that I, a mortal being claim any such glory that is truly reserved for Him, my beloved Allahu Rabbul Alamin?

Sheeesh...you must be truly mad if you ever think so?

Go study my articles and see if you can find any evidence of my claim to His Greatness?

By that I direct the above reprimand to the ones questioning my nickname?

Stick to the content of my articles and stop scrutinizing my nick!!!

So help me God!

Allahu Ta'ala that is!

No offense meant to the rest of you, my learned and honorable readers. :)

There is none worthy of worship save He, Allah the Almighty!

Having clarified that, the author wishes you a very warm welcome and hopes that you will benefit in all ways by visiting Mahaguru58.

Thank you.

Mahaguru58 Comment Policy

Effective today, 1st of March 2009, Mahaguru58 will only publish or respond to comments from legitimate bloggers who disclose their true identities and do actually have and actively blog. Just like any legitimate Q & A session in a public forum.

State upfront as to who you are and where you blog?

This is the benchmark of personal integrity and self honor.

I am sick and tired of having to answer anonymous folks who do not have the integrity to identify themselves when asking sensitive questions to me or touch upon Islam and Muslims.

Those who are just cyber snipers and not brave enough to identify themselves do not merit any answers or response.

I do reiterate that it is I who decides as to whether to respond or publish any comments that are posted here to me based upon their context and relevance to matters raised in my blog?
